Changes: How to update a tileset from 2.2 to 2.3

Latest revision as of 23:41, 16 November 2010

To update a tileset from 2.2 to 2.3 you must add some new graphics and update the file format strings.

If you want to use the larger building and wonder sprites formerly in the Amplio tileset, include the following files from misc/ :
- buildings-large.spec
- wonders-large.spec

If you want to use the new larger flagset (twice the size) include the following files from misc/ :
- flags-large.spec
- shields-large.spec

Add sprites for city sizes >99.
- Minimum requirement is the second zero in '100': city.size_00.
- Recommended is also city.size_100 through city.size_900.

Larger building and wonder icon spec files (sprites are included from buildings/ and wonders/).
Larger flags and shields spec files (sprites are included from flags/).
